Scientific Evidence

Dexpanthenol, the active ingredient in Fitobene gel, is a precursor of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and is known for its wound healing and moisturizing properties. Studies have shown that dexpanthenol promotes skin regeneration and accelerates wound healing processes.

Additional Information

Fitobene gel is well-tolerated and suitable for all skin types. It is free from fragrances and colorants, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Store the gel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Pharmacological Effects

Dexpanthenol is converted in the skin to pantothenic acid, an essential component of coenzyme A, which plays a key role in cellular metabolism and the synthesis of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. This process enhances skin hydration, accelerates epithelization, and improves skin barrier function.

Clinical Trials and Comparative Effectiveness

In a randomized controlled trial by Proksch et al., dexpanthenol-containing formulations demonstrated superior efficacy in improving skin hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss compared to control groups. The study concluded that dexpanthenol plays a significant role in enhancing skin barrier function and promoting wound healing.
